What is the Library of Congress National Book Festival?
The Library of Congress National Book Festival is an annual celebration of books, writers, and readers, first created by Laura Bush and James H. Billington back in 2001. Hundreds of thousands of people attend the festival every year! This marks the 25th year of the event and we’re delighted to be involved.
